- Keep. I'm seeing a reasonable amount of coverage in books from perfectly respectable publishers. It has an entry in
DK's "Complete Idiot's Guide to Astrology, for instance.—

- Would appreciate if you could elaborate. It’s not that I didn’t look at sources before nominating, it’s that they all seemed fringe rather than credibly fact-checked work. Innisfree987 ( talk) 15:47, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
- Depends.

- Comment. @ Innisfree987, if the guide is published by Dorling Kindersley then I'd say it's more reliable than not. Did a cursory search (though I should be working) and the term does come up in terms of astrology... so it's fringe, but astrology was a big deal back in the day. Okay, to conclude lean keep. -- Ouro ( blah blah) 15:09, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
